    Thinking of getting a Mountain Mods case.

    Well, I'm getting real close to pulling the trigger on a horizon. I'm just trying to decide if I want the original top or the solid top. I'm thinking of getting: U2-UFO Horizon Black Powder Coat - Original Top 8x Scythe Minebea NMB Silent IC Series 4710KL-04W-B19-V54 120mm 8x 120mm...

    Thinking of getting a Mountain Mods case.

    Yes, it looks good for a Lan machine, but I wouldn't use it for my main home rig. The MB I/O ports being on the side is a deal breaker as far as that goes. I like the fact that you can fit 2x PA 120.2 and a PA160 in it though... that's pretty sweet. It would look like a big spaghetti wad in...

    Radiator(s) to cool a quad core and SLI 8800 ultra

    Am I correct in saying that if you mount 6 fans (3 pushing and 3 pulling) on the 120.3 you can run them at really low RPMs for near silent operation and still get enough cooling power for great overclocks? Is it overkill to do this? Do they make fans that are powerful enough to cool the...

    Thinking of getting a Mountain Mods case.

    It looks neat. My problem with it (and it's pretty much a deal breaker for me) is that the "back" of the MB is on the side in this case... so all of the cables for everything stick out on the side. It's fine for lan parties, but for a rig that's at home most of the time, that's really...

    Radiator(s) to cool a quad core and SLI 8800 ultra

    So what do most people do in that situation? Use a PA 120.3 for the graphics cards and then run a separate loop with a PA 120.2 for the CPU and NB/SB? The only watercooling system I've ever installed is a Zalman reserator on my current system. The reserator is alot simpler because you don't...

    Thinking of getting a Mountain Mods case.

    Well, it looks like they're about to have it.. there is a new case listed on the website called the H2g0 ... judging by the 3d sketch it looks pretty cool.

    Thinking of getting a Mountain Mods case.

    I asked him if they were going to have it up on the website tonight and he said, "Website will have 3d renderings, various options, and full order processing." So they start pre-ordering tonight.

    Radiator(s) to cool a quad core and SLI 8800 ultra

    Thanks for the input everyone. If my main concern is OCing the CPU, I could get a MCR220QP and just WC the CPU and leave the GPUs stock, right? The MCR220QP (or PA 160) should be enough to cool just the CPU and get a decent OC, right?

    Radiator(s) to cool a quad core and SLI 8800 ultra

    If we are still talking hypothetically about me getting a Twice7, then the PA120.3 is out. It won't fit in that case. I was talking about getting a Swiftech MCR-220 and possibly an extra MCR-120 or maybe a PA160. The case has 3 fans, but they aren't together.

    Radiator(s) to cool a quad core and SLI 8800 ultra

    Well, perhaps I should spend the extra money and get a Mountain Mods U2 then... It would save me the hassle of trying to figure out how to cram stuff into the Twice7.

    Thinking of getting a Mountain Mods case.

    I took your advice and emailed them. I just got this reply back a few minutes ago: This is very interesting news. It would have to be a super great case for me to be willing to wait until mid September for it. I'd have to get a cheapo case to tide me over until then.

    Radiator(s) to cool a quad core and SLI 8800 ultra

    I've been out of the loop on watercooling for a while. When you say just fine, do you mean it will cool it to air temperatures, or do you mean it will do a good enough job that I should be able to overclock?

    Radiator(s) to cool a quad core and SLI 8800 ultra

    I'm thinking of getting a MountainMods Twice7 case. I've spoken to MM and I can fit a Swiftech - MCR-220 QP in the front and a Swiftech - MCR-120 QP in the back (possibly a ThermoChill PA 160 in the back). Would the combination of a dual 120mm Swiftech and a separate single 120mm Swiftech be...

    LIAN LI PC-V1200Bplus II or the new PC-A70B

    TylerDustin2008: I wish you wouldn't have mentioned Moutain Mods :p I had never actually heard of them until you said something. Seeing those cases has totally thrown a monkey wrench into my plans and I'm now strongly considering a Horizon series MM case. I like the horizontal MB tray in...
